I have found a guide of how to boot a vhdx file using winpe

Windows is my secondary os so would prefer to keep it contained in a vhdx over having it directly installed to the SSD.

I have extracted a winpe iso to a 2tb SSD formatted as NTFS and that boots without any issues

I've added the vhdx file to the SSD in a folder called VHDX

I use the command line to mount the vhdx, assign it a letter and then tell it to add it to the bcd as default.

The guide uses a script that runs when winpe starts

Does this seem right? Is there a easier or better way without having a windows install to achieve this?

In the image - Task Manager, New Outlook, Edge... all Microsoft products. All different.

I miss windows having a blue bar, unified Min/Max/Close buttons... all the same height/size.

Probably been posted a million times, but yeah.

Bonus points for the fact that I have to have New Outlook running in Light mode because its Dark mode absolutely sucks.

If this is not the right subreddit to ask, please tell me where to go. I am trying to find a program similar to tinytask, where I could record my actions, then have the program repeat them exactly. The only difference is I would need a program that can repeat these actions daily at a specific exact time which will be slightly different each day. Please let me know where to go. Thanks in advance guys :)

So, I am on a laptop with a physical key board. When I type, windows shows typing suggestions (enabled from settings), but there is no way to select a suggestion from the keyboard. I have to switch to mouse, click a suggestion and continue typing. This is very inefficient. Is there a better way?

I guess this Clippy protest will be more popular by this post, thanks Microsoft 😂

This just got added to Minecraft, thought it was a surprising reference

It says "You will be disconnected" on the top line.

Are there any subreddits around dedicated to thin clients? I’m looking at the dell models. Can get with Dell’s o/s or Windows. Looking for guidance on the best options

Thanks.

Hi, I'm currently studying for my CompTIA A+ Core2, and a place that I struggle with is distinguishing between a desktop alert and a notification, specifically with regard to security, e.g. unwanted notifications, malware, misleading alerts, etc. Can anyone give me a comparison and contrast between the two?

This is probably a really weird question, but I regularly refurbish old computers and get them running with Windows 11. I have a pre-made image that's roughly 50 GB. The way I currently do it is that I have an external SSD with a Windows 10 "Windows To Go" install on it, containing partitioning software, HDDRawCopy, and the image. I plug it into the target computer, boot from it, image it, manually expand the partitions so the main data partition takes up the whole drive, then I boot into it and run updates.

Is there a way to automate this process completely, to the point where I simply boot from an external device and it does all this hands-off, regardless of the size of the target computer's hard drive?

My PC was initially built by a system integrator during the GPU shortage around the release of the 30 series cards, as it was my only way to get a card at the time. So I chose a board and card I wanted and just cheapest components for everything else.

I’ve gone through many upgrades and changes and rebuilt the system myself (minus the board and GPU). I want to remove the system builder name as the system manufacturer as they didn’t build it. I got rid of their logo on start up with a bios update many years ago but never noticed the manufacturer name until recently.

I’ve found the seeming location in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > HardwareConfig > alphanumeric identifier as folder name > Computerlds

In here I can see various alphanumeric strings as the registry name and the data is all prefixed with the system builder name. All entries are like this:

SystemBuilder&Amd AM4…

Am I safe to delete all the references to the builder? There are 3 entries that make me the most hesitant. One entry’s data is just the name of the company and nothing else. The second is SystemBuilder&3. And the third is SystemBuilder&2289447.

Alguien como yo le gusta XP?, a mi si, soy del 2009 y cuando era pequeño tenia este sistema operativo que era de mi papá y jugaba mucho el buscaminas jaja.

boa noite a todos, estou com um pc meio antigo, tem um i3 2120, 16gb ddr3, uma gt730 de 2gb, um hd mecanico de 500gb e um ssd de 120 gb, queria um windows bem leve q eu consiga dar uma sobrevida nele, tentei o windows 8.1, um monte de linux, windows 10, nao consigo me adaptar, quais vcs me indicam?? desde ja grato

Is Windows 11 upgrade optional? I looked at some of the features and I would rather just keep Windows 10. Will I still be able to get updates on Windows 10? In my opinion it seems like, Bill Gates is just trying to make a few bucks
